(THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1930 PAGE THREE District Was Swept by Severe Storm Last Night i High Wind, Accompanied by Heavy Downpour of Rain Broke Suddenly on City Would People Canada's Va- cant Spaces With, British Assists 'Newcomers He Says ; The question of Immigration is one that should have the non-par- tisan thought of every person in Canada today," asserted Mr. F. H, M. Irwin, prominent lawyer o: Whitby and member of the Boara of directors of the British Settle- ment Society, speaking at a lun- cheon of the Kiwanis Club yestes~ day, "There has been too much thinking from a political point ot view in the last few years. It is a Canadian problem that should not be used as a plank in the platform of any party. It is a question that each truely Canadian citizen should study closely .and intelligently, if we have any real desire to keep Canada British. ~ No truely Can- adian spirited citizen should act like an ostrich and stick his head in the sand to try and avold the issue." It has always been an acknowl- edged fact in scienee and in life that the denser spaces always tend to erpand ito the spaces of lesser density. In modern life this fact is becoming more and more appar- ent, Canada possesses in her wes. tern provinces vast expanses of un- tilled land with very few people. In contrast to this are the crowded regions of Eastern Asia with mil- fons of people crowded together on land that is vastly inferior to that found in Canada. . These people present a grave menace to Canada in as much as they are not the best type of citizens to be obtained for Canada, The people in the Bast are getting western «ideas of art and science and with westren ideas they are absorbing the arts of war- fare much faster than they are ab- sorbing the true. conception of Christianity. With the annhilla- tion of distance. by science, the question of Canada's position In the years to come is becoming true- ly important, "Are we going to let the matter take its own course until it is be- yond our control?" asked Mr. Ir- 'win, ' v The British - Settlement Society of which he was a member was closely associated with the. Pres- byterian Church just as several other societies had connections witn religious bodies in Canada, assert- ed Mr. Irwin. The Society stresses the importance of personal contact with the people it brings out from England, Mr. Irwin told his audi- ence, . The society officers in Wes- i Canada as well as in Ontario who interview farmers who express their desire. to obtain men from Britain. The officers got an im- pression of the suitability of 'the farmer to have such men on his arm, The same thing is done iu ngland, where similar officers interview families who wish to come to this country. The families are acquainted with the conditions here; and their willingness. to live under those conditions is agcertain- 'ed, When they are by the government, and the officer thinks them suitably fitted to come to Cane ada, they are brought out by the society, After the settlers arrive they are not allowed to sink or swim as some would suppose, but on the othér hand there the true work of the society begins. - The society keeps in touch with them and to lessen the sl "they are ae found.

Also the widening of the Kingston road, "The delegation were mostly of the opinion that the widening of the Kingston road was the most feasible solution to the congestion in that road, especially from Oshawa's and Whitby's point of view, "Mr, Henry expressed a view that the work would not be undertaken this year, but that the work would begin next year from Toronto to West Hill, and after that the work would be carried on to Oshawa as necessity demanded."

The fire which had its origin in a 'pile of old sacks 'behind the blast furnace had evidently been started by a spark when the furn- ace was being drained last night, When the firemen arrived the pile was burning along with a barrel Fire Early This Morning Threatened Plant of Whitby Malleable Iron and Brass Co. that was standing near by, With the use of chemicals the fire was soon under control and all danger removed, A fire in this particular section of the plant practically paralyzes the whole congern, it was learned, A fire in this same room some years ago did considerable damage and resulted in a long lay-off of the em- ployees, The fire this morning had not reached serious proportions when discovered however, and the property damage will be very slight., It is not expected that there will be any stoppage in the business program of the firm, as a result of the fire, The Whitby Malleable Iron and Brass Company was formerly known as the Hatch Manufactur- ing Co. The business is a long es- tablished one and was founded by the late Fred Haich, Tributes to the enterprise of The Oshawa Dally Times in the produc- tion of its souveniy edition in hon. or of the formal cpening of the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocations!
